The 2012 Nissan Maxima is equipped with a 3.5 L V6 engine that requires 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. When performing an oil change on the Maxima, it's essential to use 5.1 quarts of oil along with a new filter. It's recommended to replace the filter at the same time as the oil to save time in the future. Due to the use of synthetic oil, both the oil and filter should be replaced every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. The average cost for this service typically ranges from $40 to $50 in labor expenses. While it can be done by yourself in about 5 to 15 minutes, you will need tools such as oil, oil filter, drain pan, gloves, ratchet, socket, socket extensions, jack, and jack stands.
